In its current state:Current NOI: $79,058 (based on 80% occupancy).Current Cap Rate (at $1.25M): 6.32%, reflecting the property’s as-is performance.Value at a 7.5% Cap Rate (Market): $1.05M, based on current NOI.Given the renovations, vacancies, and risks tied to stabilizing the property, I’m considering offering $850K to reflect its current state and value-add potential.
